      @UDb23 I'm trying to find time to work on our automated way to install those amazing overlays. I can't promise a release date but I'm taking the first steps.

      I would like to ask you to avoid to put any "regular" file in the repository root directory, only directories (just keep what is being done currently). The README.md file is OK.

      The reason is that I don't want to force the users to download every single file in the repository with a git clone (even the unwanted overlays). And to avoid it I'm taking the list of the files in the root directory of the repository...

          @Nataq as long as the system is a libretro core (and therefore supports these overlays) it can be done. I have to update my to-do list ;-)

            @UDb23 I've started a new topic so we can discuss about the repository and the script:

              Seeing what you can do, I'm totally IN for a set of generic overlays ! Also, could that be done for other systems for which overlays would all be the same sizes no matter the games ? Like for Atari, NES, NEO GEO... ?

              Atari generic made ! Check here.

                Elevator Action (Taito) now available.
                It was quite tough to get clean logo and graphics out of the original arcade game flyer.

                Concerning clones, as discussed here, it includes CFGs for both roms supported by lr-mame2003:
                elevator and elevatob (clone).

                I got no time to test the overlay on the Pi, so it'd be nice if somebody could confirm everything is ok.

                                @mviars: maybe you should change the name of this thread removing the "10" ;-)

                                  Anything for you my friend. Plus it's actually a good idea.

                                            @HurricaneFan Meanwhile I was able to find good quality artwork to be used for Gyruss, Silkworm, Moon Patrol , Pole Position, Pooyan and Darkstalkers. Work on their overlays already started... some may be released this WE...depending on the time I will be able to find ;-)

                                            Also working on some new logos for ES; e.g. Specific Logo for Vector games as suggested here.

                                            Still looking for good quality scan or picture of the bezel for "The end" (stern); could anybody help on this ?
